33 Best Free Financial Calculators

No Signup Required. No Ads. No Paywalls.

Retirement, investing, budgeting, debt, taxes, and housing calculators. All free, all on one site, all built by a guy who ran a hedge fund and then decided to give away the tools for free because the internet deserves better than “enter your email to see results.”

I built these because every financial calculator on the internet either requires a signup, shows you 4 ads before giving you the answer, or tries to sell you a $2,000 “financial planning course.” These do none of those things. They just do math.— Glen Bradford, former hedge fund manager, current calculator hoarder

Glen's Take

The financial planning industry charges thousands of dollars for advice that boils down to: spend less than you earn, invest the difference in index funds, and wait. The math is not complicated. The discipline is.

These calculators won't give you discipline. But they'll show you exactly what happens with different assumptions so you can make informed decisions. The Investment Fee Calculator alone has probably saved people tens of thousands of dollars in unnecessary advisory fees. I built it after I calculated what my own fees were costing me. I was not happy.

I say this as someone who openly shares my worst trades and has a full trading analysis page showing 2,068 trades. Transparency is more valuable than any calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these calculators really free? What's the catch?

They're completely free. No signup, no paywall, no data harvesting. I built them because I needed them myself when I was running my hedge fund and later when I was doing personal financial planning. The 'catch' is that I have affiliate links to tools like Seeking Alpha and Interactive Brokers on some pages. If you click one and sign up, I get a small commission. But the calculators work whether you click or not.

How accurate are these calculators?

They use standard financial formulas (compound interest, amortization, tax bracket math). They're as accurate as the inputs you provide. The main limitation is that they can't predict the future — nobody knows what actual market returns, inflation, or tax rates will be. Use them for directional planning, not precise predictions. If a financial advisor charges you $500 to run the same calculations, they're using the same formulas.

Which calculator should I start with?

If you're new to financial planning: start with the Net Worth Calculator (know where you stand), then the Savings Rate Calculator (know your trajectory), then the Compound Interest Calculator (understand why starting early matters). If you're further along: the FIRE Calculator and Investment Fee Calculator are the most eye-opening. The fee calculator alone might save you tens of thousands of dollars.

Do you store my financial data?

No. All calculations happen in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server. Nothing is stored. Nothing is tracked. Your financial data stays on your device. I don't want the liability, and you shouldn't want anyone storing this information. Close the tab and it's gone.

Why did you build 33 financial calculators?

I used to run a hedge fund. Then I was a Salesforce developer. Now I build things on the internet. I kept needing financial calculators that didn't require signing up for someone's email list or watching a 30-second ad before seeing my results. So I built my own. Then I built more. Then I couldn't stop. This is what happens when an engineer has too much free time and opinions about personal finance.
